When I woke up I saw that Liam had left and there was a note on the nightstand.

I've gone off to work, text me! <3

I quickly texted him that I was awake and stood up to take a shower. After that, I woke the girls up to have some breakfast  and then we'd go out to the mall.

"Can I have these?" Grace asked, pointing at some new shoes and I nodded.
Putting the shoes in our shoppingbag, I asked,"Faith, what would you like to get?"
"New pencils, crayon, a new book. I don't really mind, mom." I smiled, thinking about how different Grace and Faith were. Grace loved everything she could eat, loved showing off her new clothes or shoes as Faith was more of a silent one to sit in a quiet place and draw or teach herself something new. I payed for the stack of new clothes and then we went into the bookstore where we bought Faith some new books, pens and pencils and crayons.

Then suddenly on our way to the exit of the mall, the girls decided they wanted to play at the play center so we went there. It was a place in the middle of the mall where people would come to let their kids have some fun, with benches where the parents mostly sat down on.

I sat down as I put salty sticks into my mouth and watched the girls play, my knees up. Then suddenly someone's hands covered my eyes.
"Liam!"
"Guess again." The male voice said.
"Zion..."

He removed his hands and came to sit next to me. He tried giving me a kiss, but because the girls were here and because I was currently dating Liam, I turned my head so it became a cheek kiss."What are you doing here?" He asked, looking at the kids as my heart pounded faster and faster.
"Just chillin'." I answered and in the corner of my eyes I saw the girls coming way, but they went back to play again after I gave them a stern look.
"Weird place to chill, but okay."
"I just love kids alright?"
"Maybe we can have some, when were older."
Little did he know.

"You need to stop kissing me and saying those things, Z. It's disrespectful towards Liam."
"Do you love him?"
I acted as if I didn't hear his questions and started a new conversation. "What are you doing here then?"
"All the boys are here, but I just wanted an ice cream", he said nodding his head into the direction of the ice cream bar. "And then I saw you. Do you want some?"
I shook my head. What I wanted from him was for him to disappear. "No thanks."

When after a good 20 minutes, he still hadn't left and wanted to talk to me, and Grace and Faith giving me looks like they needed to pee and they were hungry, I said; "On a second note, get me some ice cream. Vanilla only, please, I'll wait here."
"No come with me."

I shook my head telling him how tired I was and how I just wanted sit and lay all day. He nodded and turned around to buy me the cream and I quickly took the shopping bag and motioned for the girls to follow me as they did.

We ran over the parking lot (don't try this at home. EVER) and got into the car where I quickly locked the kids up and got into the front. I started the car and was about to drive backwards as I saw a shadow behind me a car, making me kick the breaks. I looked back and there stood Zion more confused than ever and a bit hurt because I was trynna run from him.

Busted.
